Better brush up on keyboard maintenance, and make out a list of stores that deal with used computer parts. You should be able to plan ahead and have a QWERTY keyboard for the rest of your life. You might even have some to pass down to future generations if you play your cards right. Just hope that USB remains a backward compatible standard.

They apparently designed the QWERTY keyboard to slow typists down to prevent machines from bungling up. Don't you want to type faster?

EDIT: This supposedly will help you do just that, and might become a new standard eventually:
